Shower with your dad simulator has been released it looks like it takes inspiration from frog fractions which is cool.

I don't think it is Frog Fractions 2 for a few reasons.

1) It seems to be quite blatant in having the Frog and Dad Divisions nothing about FF2 has been blatant and obvious.

2) It does not fit with anything we have seen in the ARG

I think someone also got a negative response from Jim if it was FF2

in the thd14 rider mail from tunisia 216 area code and the rider message talks about making a chrono temporal flux fusion engine, along with a Dwayne.

this is the one where we have just the quotes in the spectrogram

the space coast area code is 321, and the pw we got earlier was password123 which has the area code reversed

I tried Dwayne with password612 with no luck. Also tried the gadsby login with the same password612

I do wonder if 612 is useful though.

EDIT: engine was made in 1982 and they received a rice cake from the future, and then watched blade runner with five drinks. They had planned to send back an insect

Xyzzy is in the water reckoning wiki

From Wikipedia this is a reference to Colossal Cave Adventure

Interestingly entering xyzzy in the text adventure of Frog Fractions gives the following response

I am not familiar with that particular cliché

XYZZY ideas

The phrase "xyzzy" has become a classic in the history of text based adventures. It is often used to unlock cheats or other bonus content in a game as well.
XYZZY is also a music alias, who made a album named Obelus in 2013, the following is at the bottom of that band-camp page.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄.

I can't make anything of that, but it may be something.

Sent a message to the beards number warning about sparkles and mire exuberant mushiness maybe being about love or something.
Not sure if he'll include it next week, but I figured it was worth a shot.

I doubt it, unless the arg has gone on since 2013, waybackmachine confirms that this text has been on the site since the start.

Train Hot Dog #17 - Kitten Gains went up today.

Listened to it over lunch and didn't hear anything immediately suspicious. Jim starts by googling "buff cats" and ends the episode by looking for stuff on the internet about cats and synthol. At the end he tries to click a link to some Grumpy Cat meme on Meme Generator, but says it won't load and starts reading the "preview text" from the Google results page. He says something along the lines of this:

"mobile friendly new password type (began? begin?), close, Grumpy Cat synthol can be deadly good (zero?) Grumpy Cat recaption this image! Still not loading...aaaaand here we are at the end, you'll never know what that link says. I'll see you next week."

I have no idea if that bit at the end is of any significance at all. I believe this is the link in question:http://memegenerator.net/instance/47065192
Is the number 47065192 anything?

Nothing too crazy in the spectograph:


No rider mail this week.

If you favorite the page, this is the title: "FUTURE RESISTANCE OPERATION GARRISON 1.50"

If you make this into an acronym it becomes FROG 1.50.

This ARG is Frog Fractions 1.5

dun dun duuuuuun!!! Were actually playing frog fractions. get to work learning your fractions2. but seriously this could possibly be a major hint that we've missed until now so we should look into things that would relate to the fact that we are currently playing frog fractions.

I just played it yesterday and I can see that people could get the impression that it could be something but I find it unlikely for several reasons.

It was made by a couple of members of the something awful community, if they had any connection to twinbeard they've kept it very secret. Dad division is clearly a frog fraction homage/parody just like all the other mini games are.

The frog is most likely referencing the "get out frog" a running SA joke that's been going on for years and is most likely not a frog fraction reference at all.

On the beards number message for rider mail, is it possible the frog is murmuring in morse code?

Looks like THD #18 should be going up soon. Jim added this page to the wiki 3 minutes ago with the preceding text of "[Maybe this episode transcript will be better tomorrow.]"

http://trainhotdog.wikia.com/wiki/Nightcore_Night_Court

Looks like he included your Rider Mail jimmc3rd.

Edit: Okay, glancing through this Google Voice transcription makes it look like this episode might have some meat to it. Quite different from past episodes, almost like Jim is straight-up reading code.

Okay, after making that post, the wiki has changed to say "[This episode transcript will feel better next week.]".

What is going on???? Still no sign of thd18.mp3 on the website or in the RSS feed.

Also, regarding the DANGER SPARKLES, the accesslevelalpha.php page on time travel club mentions the following: "United, we stand between the decay and the sparkly annihilation of our species."

Do we know login info for this page? http://time-travel.club/accesslevelbeta.php
